A caramel frappe with too much sugar for it's own good.
I really tried so hard to like this, as I was searching for a scent reminiscent if not similar to SDJ 71.
I spent days wearing this, both hot, humid and cold weather. But looking back at it right now, it's really not that special and certainly not for me.
It's cloying— seriously cloying. I get that it would be nice to wear in much much colder weather, but even in an airconditioned room, this one still feels suffocating and dense.
I also get the very synthetic, plastic-y note which just feel so wrong. I have also picked up some slightly floral (Which maybe is the coumarin? idk). This makes the scent a bit more complex but I really can't get behind it.

Airier Bianco Latte, hence better; it's not cloying and overtly-sweet.

Cozy sugary scent, not too powerful, and linear. Good for most occassions and casual stuff. I can see myself wearing this... Sometimes... I guess.
Not much to say about this really.
Painfully boring though, I'd rather spend my money's worth on other fragrances.

JUST RELEASE THE EDP ALREADY!
A dance of sweetness and smoke; innocent yet exudes depth.
A multifaceted olfactory sensation, in a high-manufactured and seemingly unexeptional bottle.
First spritz is a trek to the cinemas and theme parks,
an ode to a nearby waffle stand, the smell of syrup and
smoke, permeating in the air.
The fussilade of kernels puffing, coated in rich butter.
A man in his stand, roasting macadamia
he goes for a deep breath, inhaling the scent at every corner,
and sees the children hurtle to the nearby chocolatier.
10/10 A perfect nutty gourmand, ruined only by the horrendous longevity and weak projection.

Too floral.
My fault for expecting a very lactonic-gourmand scent
Opening is very good, a kick of coco-milk, spicy and sparkling in the air. Then seconds in it turns to johnson's baby poweder (the pink one).
Drydown just smells like baby powder, and maybe expensive cashmere. Nothing lactonic, and in my opinion nothing special. 4/10

I hated the Le Mâle line; I really liked this one.
Smells like an actual frag than a glorified body spray.
The sweetness of the honey and tonka really stands out. Which I feel like what has been missing on the whole Le Male line. I've disliked the lavender note on the other flankers, let alone the awful cardamom from Le Parfum.
I was pleasantly surprised by this, though it took me a week to really appreciate and compare it to the popular "Le Parfum". Because I really could not get behind the craze on Le Parfum. As to me, it smells like an expensive body deodorant spray, and not in a good way.
Initial spray reminds me of Insurrection Wild II. Heavy tobacco-cherry note and synthetic-sweet honey. Though unlike IW II, which should proceed to turn into Naxos/Pure Havanne. Elixir fuses the aromatic lavender with the sweet, nectarine honey-vanilla which is very apparent on 10 minutes later into the dry down.
It's pretty versatile, I'd be careful wearing this in the scorching summer heat though. Some people said this was cloying? But I don't see it giving everyone migrains, unlike something like Bianco Latte.
